Blade from a Ceremonial Adze

Cleveland Museum of Art

The Blade from a Ceremonial Adze by an unknown artist is a dark brown, stone tool. The object has a cylindrical protrusion on the left side and a wide, flat, triangular blade that extends to the right. The blade's edge is rough and uneven. A faded carving of a bird appears on the blade's surface. The cylindrical part has red numbers written on it. The background is a plain gray color with the object's shadow visible beneath it.
